How to get started with PocketBible.

Last Update 17 dage siden

You may have purchased some books or a collection of books and can't figure out how to access them. There are two basic steps:

  1. You need to download the free PocketBible app, and
  2. You need to download books and Bibles for it.

How you do this depends on the platform on which you want to run PocketBible.

If You Have Not Yet Installed the PocketBible App

You need the PocketBible app to use the books and Bibles you purchase at our website. If you have not yet installed it:

  • iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users should search for "PocketBible Bible Study App" on the App Store and install it.
  • Android users should search for "PocketBible Bible Study App" on Google Play and install it.
  • Mac users can download PocketBible from our website. Follow the instructions here.
  • Windows users can download PocketBible 3 for Windows from our website.

The first time you run PocketBible it will prompt you to register. If you have already purchased products from us, you need to use your Laridian login credentials when registering so that PocketBible will have access to the books in your account. Do not register as a new user or PocketBible won't be able to see your books.

Downloading Bibles and Books

We refer to the Bibles and books you own as residing in your Cloud Library. This just means they exist in your account on our server, and that is where you download them from to get them into PocketBible. How you go about this again depends on the platform on which you are running PocketBible.

  • iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad: Run PocketBible, select the Library button from the toolbar (first one on the toolbar; looks like books on a shelf), then select the Cloud button. Select books from this list to download them. To open a book, select the Device button to see books installed on your device.
  • Android: Run PocketBible, select the Library button from the top of the screen (looks like books on a shelf), then select the Cloud tab. Select books from this list to download them. To open a book, select the Device tab to see books installed on your device.
  • Mac OS: Run PocketBible and choose Cloud Library from the Books menu. Select books from this list to download them. To open a book select Open Book from the bottom of the Cloud Library form or from the Books menu to see a list of books installed on your Mac.
  • PocketBible 3 for Windows: Run PocketBible and choose Cloud Library from the Books menu or select it from the toolbar. Select books from this list to download them. To open a book, select the Device tab near the top of the My Library dialog to see books installed on your device.
